INGREDIENTS
300g Cauliflower Florets
1 cup Chickpeas (cooked, drained)
0.75 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
2 Tbsp Nutritional Yeast
1 tsp Olive Oil
0.25 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk
1 tsp Garlic Powder
1 tsp Onion Powder
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Rinse and drain the chickpeas, then pat them dry with a paper towel. Toss the chickpeas with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for about 20-25 minutes or until they are crispy, stirring halfway through.
While the chickpeas are roasting, steam or boil the cauliflower florets until tender, about 8-10 minutes. Drain well.
In a blender or food processor, combine the steamed cauliflower, nonfat Greek yogurt, unsweetened almond milk, and nutritional yeast. Blend until smooth to create a creamy sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Pour the cauliflower sauce into an oven-safe baking dish. Sprinkle the roasted chickpeas over the top.
Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes to meld the flavors.
Remove from the oven, give it a gentle stir if desired, and serve warm.
